George Greatorex And Family Fall Heir To Sum Of Money

By the recent death of his mother in England, George Greatorex of this village 
has fallen heir to a snug sum of money, which he received in cash a few days 
ago. His share amounts to $1,500 while each of his six children get $100. In 
these panicky times with the prices of food stuffs soaring high, the bequest 
comes as a Godsend.

Additional Comments:
Unfortunately George Greatorex didnt have long to appreciate his good luck as 
he died on the 24th October 1910. The parents of George Greatorex ran a Public 
House (aka Bar) in Sheffield, England. They also ran a milk delivery service
so they for the times accrued a small fortune. George shared the legacy with 2 
other brothers both residents in England.
